Chapter 153 The Fourth Magic Plant: Emerald Iris Lichen

Seeing Zack express his stance and take out an academy order of 10,000 magic stones as compensation, the coldness in Locke’s eyes finally dissipated.

After all, there’s no need for him to be so hard on money.

Moreover, he probably guessed that it was the administrative leader behind Zack who was testing his bottom line. If he could agree, it would naturally save the college money and allow Lilith Lodge to retain the large-scale production capacity of the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus.

You just have to pay the cost yourself.

Although he could still make money by doing so, it would undoubtedly compress his profit margin, affect his development of subsequent magic plants, and even affect the speed at which he could increase his magic power, so Locke decisively refused.

Locke softened his tone and said, “If the academy needs it, just give me the order and it will only take a little over a month to restore a hundred acres of magic fields.”

Zach smiled and said, “Indeed.”

“Come, give us a toast, Locke.”

Next, in the private room of the witch kitchen, Locke and Zack completed the second college procurement contract.

After Zack handed the 10,000 magic stones directly to Locke, he smiled and said, “This batch of goods can also be delivered within three months.”

“The academy and the Blood Curse Tribunal haven’t yet entered the stage of a large-scale war, so the purchase of these magical plants is simply for storage.”

“By the way, junior.” Zack turned serious and handed Locke a document. “This is the magic plant customization competition recently announced by the academy’s combat department.”

“It’s a competition held for war. According to the competition’s requirements, you have to develop a magical plant that the wizards in the war department need and participate in the competition.”

“The first place winner of the competition will immediately receive a contract for the academy’s centralized procurement. The top three winners will also receive a large amount of magic stones as a reward, and will also have the opportunity to obtain the academy’s centralized procurement contract.”

Zach said, “This is the breeder competition inside Lilith’s cabin.”

“If you’re interested, you can join. I’m very optimistic about you.”

Locke picked up the information and saw that it said [Lilith Hut Customized Magic Plant Competition (Apprentice Level)]. The competition had only one round, which was to make a product according to the requirements of the wizards in the combat department of Lilith Hut, and then send it for testing.

As long as the wizards in the combat department are satisfied, they can adopt it immediately.

This is essentially a military weapons design competition, which is fundamentally different from the breeder competition hosted by the White Wizard Association.

Both the evaluation criteria and the competition system are different.

This kind of competition requires a specific magical plant that can better meet Lilith Hut’s war requirements, and there is no need to disclose the technical details, as long as the product can be produced.

“In addition to individual breeders, there are also studios composed of multiple breeders participating in this kind of competition, right?” Locke noticed that there were basically no restrictions on the registration requirements except that official wizards could not participate, and there was no requirement to participate in the name of an individual.

This means that this is different from the breeder competition held by the White Wizard Association, which is used to compete for outstanding individual breeders.

In this competition, anyone can come, as long as they can produce a work.

In addition to personal plantations in Lilith’s cottage, there are also breeders who have become big enough to set up breeder studios by hiring breeder assistants or partnering with other breeders.

Breeder studios can gain greater negotiation space with shops in the Chimera Market and competitions held by academies, and have greater production and research capabilities than individual plantations.

Therefore, if you want to participate in this kind of competition, your opponents will not be those individuals, but those veteran breeder studios.

“The requirements for the magic plant are for combat use. It’s supposed to improve defense during combat, protecting plant-based wizards from being quickly killed by fast, agile, and aggressive vampires. In other words, we need to develop a combat magic plant that provides close-range defense, capable of resisting sudden melee attacks from approaching enemies.” Locke thought for a moment and smiled at Zack, “Senior, I’ll consider it.”

“However, my fourth magic plant is not a combat-type magic plant, so my focus will not be on it for the time being.”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Zach’s eyes, and then he said to Locke, “It’s okay, I just wanted to let you know, Junior Locke.”

“Ha ha ha ha……”

After Locke parted ways with Zack in the Witch Kitchen, he immediately returned to his two small and medium-sized botanical gardens.

He first inspected the plantation where the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus was planted to confirm that there was no problem there. The True Vision Crystal also inspected it normally.

He gave some instructions and adjustments to the Tauren slaves here to do farm work, and then went to another plantation.

In the second small and medium-sized plantation, ten acres of magic fields have been opened up and wiregrass has been planted.

Locke looked at the remaining 90 acres of empty wasteland and took out from the synthesis cube the level 7 synthetic item synthesized with emerald lichen that he had been testing recently.

For the past month and a half, Locke has been using different plants to synthesize emerald lichen, hoping to find a special synthesis formula.

Today, I finally found the special synthesis formula for Jade Lichen. Two Level 6 Jade Lichens + one Level 6 Iris Licorice can be synthesized into a Level 7 Jade Lichen plant.

Level 7 synthetic item, Emerald Iris Lichen, uses the magic co-frequency cultivation method of 600 frequency to directionally mutate licorice, and uses the magic co-frequency cultivation method of 721 frequency to directionally mutate emerald lichen, and uses the grafting cultivation method to graft licorice and emerald lichen to combine the characteristics of iris licorice with emerald lichen.

Then use the cutting cultivation method to carry out cutting propagation to cultivate a magical plant.

Emerald Iris Lichen has the properties of Emerald Lichen to increase the human body’s magic resistance, and Iris Licorice’s ability to enhance human vitality. The combination of these two properties creates the phenomenon of [Adaptive Magic Resistance].

After elemental magic or curse magic damages the Emerald Iris Lichen, the Emerald Iris Lichen will undergo corresponding adjustments to its magic component structure to better resist the same type of attack.

Locke’s eyelids jumped. This meant that the complex magic plant cultivated using three cultivation methods had immunity in the sense of magic resistance.

“What would happen if I used this thing to replace the Emerald Lichen, the main ingredient in the Bear Spirit Bile Potion, to make the potion?”

Locke couldn’t help but think.

“Also, with this magic plant, I can practice the magic frequency cultivation method again.”

“Before the Breeder exam, I can improve my proficiency in the Magical Synchronous Frequency Cultivation Method once again.”

“Also, we can try to grow this magical plant on a large scale. Although it’s not suitable for combat, it will definitely have no problem finding a market.”

“Especially with the potion master.”
